Be Better Acupuncture in Evanston, IL

"I have been suffering from a pinched nerve in my neck for about 4 weeks and they are particularly challenging & painful for me due to a spinal fusion I had from a basketball injury. As I researched options, it struck me that Melanie was the only acupuncturist with not only a 5 star rating, but glowing reviews. Please add me to this list. Melanie is a terrific listener, a great communicator and exudes kindness. To characterize her as just a very good acupuncturist does not do her justice, she takes a very holistic view on overall well being. Importantly, I have left everyone of her sessions (I just finished #4) with my pinched nerve feeling markedly better. I highly recommend her. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any specific questions."

"Melanie is so sweet and very kind! She cares deeply about each patient she sees! I brought my two year old to see her and we saw results at home within a week of seeing her!!"

"Melanie is an excellent practitioner. I will definitely be back as often as I can!"

"I am a professional singer with severe asthma. My pulmonologist was able to get me out of danger but that did not get me back on stage. Melanie was able to clear my chest of the remaining fluid and help rebuild my strength. Her knowledge of herbs and the human body is absolutely first class. She got results much faster than I expected."

"Highly recommend! I have been seeing Melanie for almost three years. Her approach is very gentle and effective. She is a great listener. She is kind and empathic. She was a lifeline for me during a very difficult time and she continues to provide invaluable support and fabulous acupuncture tune-ups. Thank you!"

"I've been going to see Melanie for two years now, for anything from recurrent shoulder pain to immune system support and general "re-sets." She is wonderful. For example, her treatments make my shoulder feel brand new, and I cope so much better with life's stressors. She gives great advice, as well as connecting acupuncture and herbal medicine with conventional medical treatments and procedures. I totally recommend her!"

"Melanie is an excellent practitioner who applies her experience and analytical skills to solve one's health issues. She has the right temperament to deliver the message so that you feel motivated to make the minor lifestyle and medical adjustments to greatly improve one's quality of life. Because of Melanie's herbal prescriptions and advice, I have been able to increase my energy so that I can function optimally in my daily office work and leisure. Not only is she an amazing acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist, she is an outstanding coach. I think she is a game changer. Thank you, Melanie."

"Dr. Katin has helped me many times with my emotional health and stress-related digestive issues. When I see her, I feel like I have been "put back together" and I feel a sense inner peace. When I see her regularly, I do not get colds as frequently, my stress feels lower and my digestion is great. If you have any reservations, may I say that she is one of THE BEST acupuncturists out there. She is compassionate, experienced, gentle and effective. I wholeheartedly trust Melanie with my health."
